Apple Adds Another MacBook Pro Model to Vintage Products List
Apple recently added the final 15-inch MacBook Pro model to its vintage products list. This particular Intel-based model launched in May 2019, and it was quickly succeeded by the first-ever 16-inch MacBook Pro in November of that year.
Apple considers a device to be vintage once five years have passed since the company stopped distributing it for sale. Apple and Apple Authorized Service Providers may offer repairs for vintage devices, but only if parts remain available. In addition, Apple says MacBooks may be eligible for an extended battery-only repair period for up to 10 years from when the product was last distributed for sale, subject to parts availability.
While the 15-inch MacBook Pro is now vintage from a hardware perspective, it still has software support for the time being. The latest macOS Sequoia operating system is compatible with any MacBook Pro model released in 2018 or later.
Apple is gradually phasing out Intel-based Macs, but it will likely take at least a few more years until all Intel-based models are no longer supported in terms of both hardware and software. The first Macs with Apple silicon chips launched in late 2020, and the MacBook Pro is currently offered with 14-inch and 16-inch display sizes.
